Featured Reviews for New & Custom Home Builders in Essex

Cargill Construction Co LLC
New & Custom Home Builders in Essex
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 1, 2016
“Cargill designed and built our new home three years ago. They did a great job and we could not be happier with the result and the on going attention they have shown us since completion. We would use them again for sure.”
Saltsman Brenzel, Inc.
New & Custom Home Builders in Essex
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 24, 2012
“We hired Saltsman Brenzel to build a new house on the site of a demolished house. We had completed 2 construction projects in the past, with different companies, and our experience with SB was superior in every way. The design of the house is sensitive to the neighborhood and the site, while incorporating our requests. The design/build aspect was seamless, from permitting all the way through to finish work. The budget was kept track of with regular meetings & weekly spread sheets. I would highly recommend SB for a productive, low-stress, and enjoyable construction experience.”

“I work with Lanna and his team on many of my projects. He prices fair and always picks up the phone! Even when there are inevitable delays or hiccups in construction, he bends over backwards to make things right. Can't wait to do my next reno with him!”
PEGASUS Design-To-Build LLC
New & Custom Home Builders in Essex
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 24, 2013
“I have used other contractors in the past and can say that I have never had such a positive experience. The job was enormous- almost a complete house gut and I lived in my home while the work was going on- seven months ! Not Fun! But...... I arrived at the office for an interview with only my own scribbled plans. Jane spent a great deal of time understanding how I lived and then totally resigned my plans to reflect what I actually wanted- with many new and terrific ideas. Jeff and I discussed every change I wanted and what it would cost on a regular basis. There was unbelievable communication. I always received a call back from someone within an hour , even on weekends. The crew is lovely and they spent a lot of time screening off my living areas and cleaning up. Once I even changed my mind about a wall and some electrical work just as they finished it - and they redid it all on the spot - no problem. They have a set crew and I got to know them all. Living with them - they became like family. If I requested a particular carpenter for a particular job- he was sent. If they got behind the schedule , they would work on weekends and evenings to catch up. Mike is great and supervises every small thing. I would really like to thank them all. I especially would like to thank Jesse for all the extra little things he did to make my "life in construction" more comfortable. Reading this , it sounds like they paid me - but I definitely paid them:-) I still call if I think something is "funky" and they are over here right a way to take a look. The completed house is more beautiful than what I imagined and everyone seems to have taken great pride in their work. I would never use anyone else.”
Develop X Properties, LLC
New & Custom Home Builders in Essex
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 13, 2023
“I live in New Jersey and have a few properties in Massachusetts. I needed work done on two of my properties. I normally send my team of guys up there when work or repairs are needed but this time I couldn't because of poor timing. I spoke to a handful of contractors over the phone. When I spoke to Chris from Develop X Properties, he reached my comfort level in the first minute of our convo. He assured me the work would be done within my budget and in a timely fashion. The most important part is that he kept me updated throughout the whole process. Chris was very responsive and very transparent. They did a fabulous job on both of my properties. This project gave me absolutely ZERO headaches thanks to Chris and his team. I strongly recommend Develop X to anyone looking for a trustworthy professional company.”

“Jeff of Concept Building built a home for one of my clients in Martha's Vineyard. I found him and his colleagues to be professional, responsive, and focused on the details. Jeff managed and executed this project flawlessly, as you can imagine working on an island has it's challenges but at each step his team exceeded expectations. The project was completed on time and on budget and the end result is truly spectacular.”

Gold Beech Construction
New & Custom Home Builders in Essex
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 9, 2019
“Gold Beech was hired to undertake a project replacing water-damaged wood on a garage. Chris provided a clear estimate of the job, to include the scope of work, with estimated time and cost. He arrived at the site on time (early, in fact) and performed with utmost professionalism. When he uncovered unexpected carpenter ant activity, he addressed the full extent of the damage replacing all the effected wood, as well as interfacing with the exterminator. At the completion of the project, he left the site in immaculate condition! His work was thorough and precise, using superior materials. His equipment (and his assistant) were top-notch! He is available, responsive and provides detailed documentation. It's rare to come across a small business with the level of pride, respect and professionalism he presents. I would hire him again in a heartbeat! I recommend Gold Beech and Chris without reservation.”
